Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“My mother..what happened to her?” I ask bluntly.
“I don’t know” he whispers pain making his voice thick, “I never saw or heard from her again. I assume she was killed. I got told that when you mate to a human it is different though so until I find a new mate my bond will still be there just weak. I’ve searched for your mother and you everywhere over the last 24 years.”
I nod my head as I had already assumed as much. “So you’re a Beta of the Rogue pack?” I ask.
“Ah..about that. I’m not actually the Beta..I’m the Rogue King” he answers.
I gasp in shock as I look at him, “what..how?”
“2 years ago I had had enough of being a roaming rogue, I felt like I needed family..friends, a sense of belonging. I knew no pack could safely take me in and as I wasn’t sure of the dangers the hunters could still bring I knew I would have to stay a rogue. One day I met the former Rogue King..he was a monster. He killed, raped, beat men, women and children. I killed him when he fought me after I’d rejected becoming part of his army and became the new Rogue King by right” he informs me, “from there I made significant changes. No more violence unless called for, no harm to others unless a named enemy. My pack runs just like any, there are positions and job roles and everyone does their fair share. I told you yesterday about the oath I make everyone utter with the pack witch, this was to bring order to them and I have to say so far it has been highly successful.”
“That’s incredible” Jax says admirably.
“Thank you son” my father says, “I apologise for not being honest with you from the start but many still fear the rogues and what they may cause. I wanted to show we are different.”
The door opens and Laurence reappears, “we are travelling there this afternoon. They are expecting us.”
“Thank you Laurence” Jax says as food is brought in behind him. “Let’s enjoy our meal and then we can leave, is that all ok with you Sir?” He checks with my father.
“Kingsley to you is perfectly fine” my father says, “this afternoon is great thank you Beta for organising it.”
Over the next hour we continue talking, telling stories of ourselves over the years as Laurence asks question after question about Guardian Wolves much to the appreciation of my dad. Feeling full I go to stand as Jax does the same, “I’ll see you shortly, thank you for lunch I enjoyed it” I say as we wave goodbye slipping out the room.
Nova POV:
Once we get back to the room I head straight to the bathroom to freshen myself up getting ready to journey to the White Mountain Pack. Looking in the mirror I see my eyes shining brighter than they have in a long time and my cheeks are rosey with colour, my lips plump curled in a slight smile naturally. After the initial emotional conversation we had with my father lunch had flown by, it was nice to enjoy some laughs and relax before we have to travel this afternoon.
Walking out my eyes fall on Jaxs muscular figure sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes rise to meet mine as he lifts his arms up for me to join him. “Hello, mate” he whispers huskily in my ear making heat pool below and my body shiver.
Pulling back I see a smirk grace his lips knowingly, “behave” I laugh swatting his shoulder, “we need to get ready.”
“Yes about that, Luca has just rang and said he has rooms prepared for us to stay in as we won’t be finished until late. I wanted to check it would be ok with you before confirming anything” he says standing and heading towards the closet.
“Yes that’s fine, it means we can leave early and travel back doesn’t it so it makes sense” I agree rationally as I head through to the closet behind him.
Seeing he’d taken his top off and his rippling back muscles were on show as he took clothes off their hangers ready to pack I find my breath hitching. “Seriously Jax you’re not helping a woman here” I say playfully fanning myself as I know my eyes have darkened.
He pulls a tshirt down over his head ruffling his hair as he try’s to hide the smug smile that is stretching across his face. “If we had time you know you’d get to enjoy..all this” he says dramatically gesturing at his body.
Stepping forward i trail my hand over his stomach making him hold his breath as I reach up and whisper in his ear, “i don’t doubt i would enjoy it” before I walk past him sniggering to get some of my own clothes ready to take with us. Turning I see he hasn’t moved from his frozen position as he stares at me with lust filled eyes.
“I’m trying my hardest to restrain myself at the moment Nova but you’re making it increasingly hard” he growls.
Looking down I see his noticeable bulge straining in his black jeans, “I can see” I wink at him before stepping back with my hands in mock surrender. “I’ll behave..promise.”
Seeing him control his breathing he walks towards me and drops a hard kiss on my lips before taking our bags to the bathroom and putting our toiletries in. Opening the door he turns to me “come on then love” and we head downstairs.
I offer to take my bag but he shakes his head in a stern no, “such a gentleman” I comment as he loads the car up making him chuckle.
“This is our ride” he gestures to the fancy Aston Martin in front of us opening the door for me.
“Thank you” I say looking him clearly in the eyes as I sit down.
“Laurence, Alice and Theo are following behind with your dad” he informs me as he pulls the car down the driveway.
Nodding I lean my head back and let my thoughts wander speaking to Kia as the journey progresses. Jax for all his due leaves me to relax for the ride aware that I need time to process everything.
As we enter the territory of the White Mountain Pack I reach my hand out to grasp Jaxs as he squeezes mine reassuringly.
Pulling up outside the pack house I see Luca waiting for us with a smile on his face, “someone is pleased you’re back” Jax comments with a smile as he opens the door helping me out the car.
Grinning I turn my attention to Luca, “can’t escape me can you” I laugh as he twirls me round in a hug.
“Never” he grins back, turning to Alpha Jax he shakes his hand as he says “good afternoon Alpha Jax, please let me welcome you to the White Mountain Pack..again, and it’s lovely to see you.”
Chuckling Jax shakes his hand firmly, “thank you Beta.”
“I’ll show you to your room, then Alpha Axton has said we should all meet in the downstairs lounge and we can go from there” Luca says leading us upstairs. As we pass the floor that used to hold my room I feel my heart tighten before I focus on Jaxs warmth and the feeling quickly dissipates.
Luca opens a door ahead of us and gestures us both forward, “your room” he says simply.
“Both of ours?” I ask sharply.
“Umm..yes?” He says quietly with doubt in his tone.
I look at him for a moment before giggling, “I’m just messing Luca, thank you.”
“You never change” he says shaking his hand relief crossing his sharp features.
“We spoke to my father at lunch, he told us some information” I start before looking at Jax and quickly linking him, “can I tell him about us?”
He looks at me before answering aloud, “you don’t ever need to ask me that, I wouldn’t ask you to keep anything from your brother.”
With those words Luca and I both break into huge smiles, “thank you” Luca says gratefully, “you were saying Nova?”
